【 摘 要 】

After hearing of the success ofFundacion Chile, the governor of the Mexican state ofJalisco sought to recreate the foundation locally. Theresult is Fundacion Jalisco, which seeks to importsuccessful business models to small farmers in Jalisco. Forits first project, the Fundacion imported high-yieldblueberry plants from the United States, started a nursery,and gave the plants to local farmers who were capable ofgrowing them successfully. The farmers deliver their berryharvest to the foundation, which packages and sells itthroughout Mexico and overseas in the United States and theUnited Kingdom. The venture has been highly profitable forall concerned, and the foundation is now seeking todiversify into value-added products such as olive oil andcheese. The foundation relies on a combination of statefunding and private investment.
